    I had heard Ben Mansford saying renewal rates were >70%, but the majority of people I know have not renewed.

    Is this yet more bull 5hit coming from Oakwell? The first few home game attendances will be interesting......

    Over 7000 season cards have been issued, according to box office. So I don't think it's bull$hit. Unless your mates are the entire <30%

    No it's not. Surely last season was well over 8000.

    We had a average home attendance of 9800.

    Some else just likes to moan at the club, sad sad sad person.

    Good number.
    500POG
    500 away fans

    be in the top 8.
    Rotherham averaged 8450 so we could get more.

    Last time we were in league one we averaged over ten thousand and things were a lot worse then.

    Main problem is there won't be that many large away followings.

    Hopefully the Blunts will be able to bring a few more than 3,000 this season.

    Quite a few norhtern teams in the league though. Doncaster Sheffield united Chesterfield Bradford Preston 8/9 thousand from those. Surely the others can average 282.

    Hope so. Sure we won't get the 5/6,000 too often. Shame cause we need the turnover.

    Can see the north stand being closed a couple of times this season too.

    Colchester for example should be put in the top tier corner of west stand.

    For some teams maybe. Not sure what the Percentage of Home attendences travel but Rochdale and Fleetwood averaged 2900 or less season.

    Based upon my straw poll of folk I go to games with - season ticket sales are up 33%! 3 of us all renewed and my mate's lad has also got a season ticket for first time.
    Of course I don't think for one moment that will be replicated around the stadium - shame!

    Exactly. If there's not going to be 1,000+ its daft having the North stand open IMO.

    Maybe Yeovil again, think MK Dons don't travel well also. Not going to be many large following looking at the fixture list though.

    Rochdale's away following is about 60% of their home average. They're one of the best in terms of away support and I'd expect most of their supporters to attend Oakwell on the final day as we both celebrate promotion.

    The majority of people I know have renewed theirs. Mind you I only know about 10 people and they've all renewed. You must sit with the moaners who have talked each other into not bothering.
